iPhone Battery Draining Quickly After Update – Any Fixes?

Hi everyone,
I recently updated my iPhone to iOS 17, and I’ve noticed that the battery drains much faster than it used to. It’s even dropping overnight when I’m not using it. I’ve checked for rogue apps and turned off background app refresh for most things, but the issue persists.
Has anyone else faced this after updating? Are there any specific settings or fixes that worked for you?
Thanks in advance for any advice!

Hey everyone, just wanted to share an update. I did some digging and found a few solutions that seem to help.
- I checked battery usage in settings and identified some apps that were more active than they should be.
- I disabled unnecessary location services and background app refresh for those apps.
- I also tried out Scarlet iOS, which let me sideload a battery-monitoring app. It gave me deeper insights into what's causing the drain, and I’ve seen some improvement already!
Hope this helps others who might be facing the same issue.
